edu-ID

What is an edu-ID?

• A lifelong, user-centric digital identity for research and education
• Different forms in different federations
  • SUNET eduID.se (Sweden):
    • Application for university places, enrollment
    • Creation of university accounts
  • SWITCH edu-ID (Switzerland):
    • Central digital identity for the academic sector
    • IdP of the home institution will only be an attribute source in future
    • Change of the federation model: Mesh → Hub-and-Spoke

Status of the work: * Use cases and requirements derived from them

• Planning of the edu-ID architecture
• attributes and data model
• Levels of Assurance
• Open questions
• Other materials

An open working group was founded at the spring conference of the ZKI AK Directory Services 2019 at the TU Braunschweig,

• ideally with the participation of members from universities, libraries, research institutions and communities
• to think about the functionality and scope of a possible edu-ID service and
• to draw up a corresponding requirements profile

In a further step, an operating and cost model as well as a concept and a roadmap for the technical implementation (should it ever get that far) must then be developed.
